this was once a university. one element in here that really captures my attention is the series of openings/portals that were laid in an axis thus creates a view that is so interesting one would wonder what's lying next beyond each portal.

somehow, thinking about it as once a university, i wonder where are the rooms to hold the classes. there's a building (last photo) that speaks a different/odd language from the rest of angkor's temples/buildings. any angkor temples/buildings were built from geometrical stone cut-outs with perpendicular angles but this one was built on circular columns and topped with a pediment, similar with architecture from the roman empire.
